Chelsea among those interested in Timo Werner

Despite signing Olivier Giroud from Arsenal in January, the Frenchman is likely only a short-term fix to their attacking issues being tied to an 18-month contract and Chelsea will want to bring in a younger forward in the near future. Timo Werner has been one of the most clinical centre-forwards in the Bundesliga since joining Red Bull Leipzig from Stuttgart 18 months ago and has been linked with the likes of Liverpool and Real Madrid but now Chelsea are being mentioned as a potential suitor. Calciomercato report that the 21-year-old Germany international, who is under contract with Leipzig until 2020, has turned down a new deal with last season’s Bundesliga runners-up amid interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs. Werner recently revealed there was great interest in his services, including Chelsea who are among several Premier League clubs mentioned. “There are many top clubs in Europe: Atletico, Real and Barça in Spain, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, United and City in England.” There has been talk that PSG could make a move to sign Alvaro Morata in the summer if Roma complete a deal for Edinson Cavani, meaning Chelsea would almost certainly need to add to their attacking ranks.

ATLETICO MADRID have joined the race to sign RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner , according to reports in Germany. Manchester United and Real Madrid are both known admirers of the Germany international, 21.

Timo Werner has been on Liverpool’s radar for the best part of a year following an impressive debut season with Red Bull Leipzig and the Reds are expected to revive their interest come the summer transfer window.

The 21-year-old Germany international has 35 goals and 11 assists in 60 career appearances for Leipzig following a £10m move from Stuttgart in 2016, establishing himself as one of the top strikers in the Bundesliga.

Along with the Reds, Champions League holders Real Madrid have also been linked with a move for the striker, but they could face some fresh competition from rivals Atletico Madrid who see Werner as a potential replacement for Antoine Griezmann.

Werner interested in United move

RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner has admitted he would love to play in the Premier League – specifically for either Manchester United or City. The Mirror reports that Werner told Sport1 he would like to test himself in England or Spain in the future. “It would be a lie to say in England you’d not like to play for Manchester United or Manchester City. Spain – Barca or Real. There are great clubs in every league. Italy or France would not be my leagues, but the other three. There are so many clubs you’d like to play for. I don’t want to tie myself down.” Werner has been a crucial figure in Leipzig’s rise in the Bundesliga, with the free-scoring striker firing them into Champions League last season. This season Werner has netted 10 times in 20 Bundesliga appearances, with Leipzig locked in a battle for second place with the likes of Schalke and Borussia Dortmund. The German has attracted plenty of interest in the past with Bayern and Real Madrid linked with moves for the forward. At the age of just 21, Werner is seen as one of the up and coming young forward. He will be hoping that he can continue his fine form and earn a place in the German national team squad this summer.

Liverpool are expected to allow West Brom loanee Daniel Sturridge to leave the club permanently in the summer which would leave them light in attack and Werner is a personal favourite of Jurgen Klopp’s.

Neither Danny Ings or Dominic Solanke have proven to be capable stand-ins for Roberto Firmino up front and Werner would give Liverpool another top-quality option in attack next season, should they be able to beat Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid to his signature.
